How to be Critically Open-Minded: A Psychological and Historical Analysis

In a lively and subversive analysis, psychologist John Lambie explains how to see another person's point of view while remaining critical – in other words how to be 'critically open-minded'. Using entertaining examples from history and psychology, Lambie explores the implications of critical open-mindedness for scientific and moral progress.

"In this wide-ranging study, John Lambie combines insights from psychology with memorable historical examples to engage the reader in a thought-provoking exploration of open-mindedness and its role in moral decision-making and the search for knowledge." - William Hare, Mount Saint Vincent University, Canada

John Lambie is currently Reader in Psychology at Anglia Ruskin University, UK, and is an Associate Fellow of the British Psychological Society. His primary research focus is on the awareness of emotion.
